This section is about publicating intellectual property (IP) in order to make it
publically available so that it cannot be patented anymore, thus forming
prior art.

Not only the sole fact that ideas and inventions have been publically
available makes them prior art - they also have to be "known". So please
spread the existence of this site! Tell your friends! Tell companies! Tell
as many people as possible.

The implications of especially software patents are very well documented on
the FFII site. Please go there and have a
thorough look at them (and come back here :)
